Project CARS review – race champion

Gran Turismo and Forza have a new rival, but does this crowd-funded driving sim have enough horsepower to keep up with the pack?

Of all the many genres of video games it’s racing sims that are the hardest to make seem unique. That’s one reason why there’s been so relatively few of them in recent years, as the business of looking photorealistic becomes increasingly trivial but the difficulty of giving each game its own unique features becomes ever greater. But Project CARS really does feel like it’s doing something new, and although it’s a serious racer it’s really nothing like Gran Turismo or Forza.
